“We’ve come a very long way since the first computer virus. Viruses, worms, spyware, botnets, the list goes on – these are simply the tools in the cybercriminals’ toolbox. The tactics evolve but the goals remain the same: to steal, expose, turn a profit, and gain control. Spies once used fake credentials and tiny concealed cameras to capture important plans behind enemy lines and criminals robbed banks to steal money. Today’s cyber-spies can infiltrate a network from anywhere on the planet and use an employee’s credentials to tap into sensitive data, and cybercriminals can execute a cyberattack to extort cities for thousands of pounds. As tactics evolve, the stakes only get higher.”
